Here, mA = 3.65 kg and mB = 7.05 kg. The string connecting the two objects is of negligible mass and the pulley is frictionless.

The objects start from rest and move with constant acceleration. (a) What is the magnitude of the acceleration (in m/s2) of each of the objects

Answer:

The magintude of the acceleration for both objects is $3.11m/s^2$

Explanation:

Drawing a free body diagram on the two boxes we can analyze the system more easily.

we can take the acceleration going up as positive for reference purposes.

for mA let's suppose that is ascending so:

$T_A-m_A*g=m_A*a$

and for mB (descending):

$T_B-m_B*g=-m_B*a$

$T_A=T_B$

because the two boxes has the same acceleration because they are attached together:

$m_B*g-m_B*a-m_a*g=m_a*a\\(m_B-m_A)*g=(m_a+m_B)*a\\a=\frac{(7.05kg-3.65kg)*9.8m/s^2}{3.65kg+7.05kg}\\\\a=3.11m/s^2$

So the magintude of the acceleration for both objects is $3.11m/s^2$

Suppose a small planet is discovered that is 16 times as far from the Sun as the Earth's distance is from the Sun. Use Kepler's

mamaluj [8]

Answer:

23376 days

Explanation:

The problem can be solved using Kepler's third law of planetary motion which states that the square of the period T of a planet round the sun is directly proportional to the cube of its mean distance R from the sun.

$T^2\alpha R^3\\T^2=kR^3.......................(1)$

where k is a constant.

From equation (1) we can deduce that the ratio of the square of the period of a planet to the cube of its mean distance from the sun is a constant.

$\frac{T^2}{R^3}=k.......................(2)$

Let the orbital period of the earth be $T_e$ and its mean distance of from the sun be $R_e$ .

Also let the orbital period of the planet be $T_p$ and its mean distance from the sun be $R_p$ .

Equation (2) therefore implies the following;

$\frac{T_e^2}{R_e^3}=\frac{T_p^2}{R_p^3}....................(3)$

We make the period of the planet $T_p$ the subject of formula as follows;

$T_p^2=\frac{T_e^2R_p^3}{R_e^3}\\T_p=\sqrt{\frac{T_e^2R_p^3}{R_e^3}\\}................(4)$

But recall that from the problem stated, the mean distance of the planet from the sun is 16 times that of the earth, so therefore

$R_p=16R_e...............(5)$

Substituting equation (5) into (4), we obtain the following;

$T_p=\sqrt{\frac{T_e^2(16R_e)^3}{(R_e^3}\\}\\T_p=\sqrt{\frac{T_e^24096R_e^3}{R_e^3}\\}$

$R_e^3$ cancels out and we are left with the following;

$T_p=\sqrt{4096T_e^2}\\T_p=64T_e..............(6)$

Recall that the orbital period of the earth is about 365.25 days, hence;

$T_p=64*365.25\\T_p=23376days$

yarga [219]

Hello! The nontoxic, nonflammable chemicals containing atoms of carbon, chlorine, and fluorine that have created a hole in the ozone layer are the Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs)

These are compounds developed and improved by Thomas Midgley in the late 1920s. They were used as refrigerants and aerosol propellants.

These compounds created a hole in the ozone layer by the following reactions:

CCl₃F → CCl₂F· + Cl· (In the presence of light. Radical Reaction)
Cl· + O₃ → ClO + O₂
ClO + O₃ → Cl· + O₂

The last 2 reactions can repeat in a radical mechanism and explain why these compounds are so harmful to the ozone layer.
